Hello
Welcome to HCM
I do not think tree tea oil will help in removing keloid scars.But there is no harm in applying it .
I will suggest you to visit aesthetic physician or dermatologist & get the keloids removed by either laser or steroid shots.But in some people keloids reappear if you have tendency to develop keloid .
For further doubts please do write to us.
Thank you
